Greenland icecaps


Greenland is the largest island in the world. It is also the Northernmost country in the world. The Kaffeklunnen Island of Greenland is just 442 miles from the North Pole. Interestingly, Greenland is spread across a vast area of 8, 36,300 square miles and 80 percentage of it covered by ice. It is the exact reason why Greenland remains least explored and underpopulated.
Some ice sheets of this island have a thickness of 3200 meters. It is also estimated that Greenland ice sheets are aged between 400,000 and 800, 00 years.
Greenland is also home to glaciers, ice flowing rivers, midnight Sun, hot springs and Northern lights. In case of transportation, there are no roads or rail networks in Greenland. To get around, you can choose snowmobile, boat, plane or helicopter.
